Cats Many people today have pets for pleasure and
companionship. Nearly any animal can be a pet,
such as hamsters, rabbits, birds, fish, frogs,
horses, and even cats and dogs. Besides being a
loving companion, pets serve many other purposes
as in protecting homes, destroying vermin, and
providing a means of transportation. The elderly
and the childless couples can rely on a pet as an
emotional outlet. In addition, pets can be kept
for their beauty, rarity, or for the beautiful
sounds that birds can make. Today pets are usually
purchased from breeders, pet shops, or animal
shelters rather then individually captured and
tamed. All pets were made domestic, including
cats. Cats are the second mo ...

Cats - 1,226 words
... All types of cats come from the same, basic
evolution. Cats are meat-eating, or carnivores,
and great hunters; they have sharp, pointed teeth
called canines and claws that can be retracted
into their paws (Brown 1147). Cats have very keen
senses, which allow them to stalk their prey. All
cats have well-developed sight and very sharp
hearing, which allows them to make successful
hunting forays at dawn and dusk (Rutherford 14).
Cats must be able to merge in with their
environment, to flee the pursuer and pursue their
target (Rutherford 18). Some characteristics of
the cat outweigh others without competition. Cats
have a strong sense of smell, which is used more
for detecting and communica ...

Cats Cradle - 964 words
CatS Cradle In questioning the value of literary
realism, Flannery O'Connor has written, "I am
interested in making a good case for distortion
because it is the only way to make people see."
Kurt Vonnegut writes pessimistic novels, or at
least he did back in the sixties. Between
Slaughterhouse Five, Mother Night, and Cat's
Cradle, Vonnegut paints a cynical and satirical
picture of the degradation of society using
distortion as the primary means to express
himself. In Cat's Cradle, the reader is confronted
with the story of the narrator, John, as he
attempts to gather material to write a book on the
human aspect of the day Japan was bombed. As the
story progresses, he finds that becomes incre ...

Cat's Cradle Cat's Cradle is, Vonnegut's most
highly praised novels. Filled with humor and
unforgettable characters, this apocalyptic story
tells of Earth's ultimate end, and presents a
vision of the future that is both darkly fantastic
and funny, as Vonnegut weaves a satirical
commentary on modern man and his madness (Barnes
and Noble n.pag). In Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut
uses satire as a vehicle for threatened
self-destruction when he designs the government of
San Lorenzo. In addition, the Bokonists practice
of Boko-maru, and if the world is going to end in
total self destruction and ruin, then people will

Hmmmm I Havent Seen That Many Plays, But I Did See This One, So Here Comes The Review Produced By Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cats I - 365 words
Hmmmm I havent seen that many plays, but I did see
this one, so here comes the review. Produced by
Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cats is not his most famous
production. Webber also did the Phantom of the
Opera. Ive never seen Phantom, but I would imagine
it is better than Cats. Thats not to say Cats was
particularly bad, just cheesy. As far as my
opinion is concerned, the plays only saving grace
was the fact I was with Kim, my girlfriend, and in
a good mood. As I entered the Fox, which Id never
attended before, I saw an immense structure full
of intricate carvings, and beautiful people. After
I took a quick trip to the little boys room, we

I Am Going To Compare And Contrast The Similarities And Differences Between Dogs And Cats The Similarities Are Innumerable, Y - 869 words
I am going to compare and contrast the
similarities and differences between dogs and
cats. The similarities are innumerable, yet this
holds true with the differences as well. First, we
shall discuss the similarities that these two
creatures share. One of the most obvious
similarities between these two animals is that
they both have hair. When a creature has hair, it
belongs to the mammal kingdom. This means that
they give birth to their young. They also drink
milk when they are babies. Another similarity that
these animals share is that they are domesticated
animals kept as pets. They also require love and
affection from their owner. If you show love and
affection toward these animals, they ...

July/August 2000 This article, The Ghost Cats
Ninth Life, is about the fate of the Ocelot in
South Texas. Not much remains of the ocelot. They
are a wild member of the cat family; just a little
bigger than a big housecat Although scientists
know little of this rare and reclusive cat, they
have estimated that only about 80 ocelots remain
in the United States, mostly on federally reserved
land. Ocelots have been listed on the endangered
species list since 1982. The primary cause for
their decline is thought to be habitat loss; the
only area they are known to exist anymore is a

The Role Ofreligion And Morality In Cat's Cradle
As an author, Kurt Vonnegut has received just
about every kind of praise an author can receive:
his works held the same sway over American
philosophy as did those of Jack Kerouac or J.R.R.
Tolkein; his writing has received acclaim from
academics and the masses alike; and three of his
books have been made into feature films. Society
has permanently and noticeably been altered by his
writing. Through accessible language and
easily-understood themes, Vonnegut has created
works subtle, engrossing, and familiar. His main
method for doing this is by exploiting a theme
with which everyone is familiar and about which
everyone has his own opinion: reli ...

ethylene are used with caution because they are
highly explosive. Halothane is the most prefered
over the three because it is neither inflammable

Pentothal sodium is the most popular. This is

with animals is the use of animals in laboratory
sciences. Some manufactures of cosmetics and
household products still conduct painful and
useless tests on live animals, even though no law
requires them not to. Some people, called
anti-vivisectionists, are at one extreme in their
concern. They want an abolition of all experiments
on live animals. At the other extreme there are
those who say that it is quite all right for us to
do whatever we like to animals. They say that God
gave us such a right, since it is written in the

get run over by a car. As she watched it die

poor cat alone!" One boy replied, "We wanted to
see if maggots will come out of its nose! Hey
Jimmy!" the boy yelled at his friend, "Go get your
firecrackers!" Holly started crying and ran away.
From then on, she viewed all scientists who use
animals to experiment on as immature little boys
just trying to get a kick out of blood and guts.
Not only did she not like what the scientists did
